No vision and you perish, No ideal and you’re lost; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hope, some dream to cling to, Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing to, Some service that is high. —Harriet Du Autermont

BRIGHT HORIZONS We should be glad for distant things, for beauty ‘round the bend; For highways that lead on and on, With never any end. Be glad for goals just out of reach, The challenge of a star, The glory of a distant light That beacons from afar. For hopes and dreams are built on That enchanted distant mile, And far-off bright horizons Make the road today worthwhile. —Helen Lowrie Marshall

I have hoped, I have planned, I have striven, To the will I have added the deed; The best that was in me I’ve given, I have prayed, but the Gods would not heed. I have dared and reached only disaster, I have battled and broken my lance; I am bruised by a pitiless master That the weak and the timid call chance.I am old, I am bent, I am cheated Of all that youth urged me to win; But name me not with the defeated, To-morrow again, I begin. —S E Kiserg
